Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had two 1999 volvo 70-series. one a v70 wagon, and the other a s70 sedan. both had a failure of the electronic throttle module (etm). the etm on the v70 failed at 61,091 miles. the s70 failed at 101,312 miles for me, but since we bought the car used at about 98,000 miles, i do not know if it failed before. the v70 was exhibiting symtoms and was replaced under warranty when i brought it in for service. the s70 however failed on the road in traffic with my daughter driving, while i was also in the car. it was replaced by volvo, but cost me as there was no warranty.
